Music and Mental Illness.


Rock music, especially heavy metal music, disturbs the mind and aggravates mental illness.

Dirge-like rhythms and screaming vocals sow discord, anxiety, and depression.

And this is quite apart from the content of the lyrics.

Violence, drugs, suicide, death.....

All these things are in the music either overtly or covertly through backtracking.

On the other hand classical music, especially sacred choral music, calms the mind and puts it into a meditative alpha state.

This brings harmony to the mind and helps to relieve mental illness.

So be careful what you listen to.

Seek harmony and calm not discord and agitation.
